A geneont object is a data structure containing Gene Ontology information. Gene Ontology terms can be explored and traversed through "is_a" and "part_of" relationships.
Following are methods of a geneont object:
| getancestors (geneont) | Find terms that are ancestors of specified Gene Ontology (GO) term |
| getdescendants (geneont) | Find terms that are descendants of specified Gene Ontology (GO) term |
| getmatrix (geneont) | Convert geneont object into relationship matrix |
| getrelatives (geneont) | Find terms that are relatives of specified Gene Ontology (GO) term |
Properties of a geneont Object
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| default_namespace | Read-only string containing the namespace to which terms are assigned. |
| format_version | Read-only string containing the version of the encoding of the OBO flat format file. |
| date | Read-only string containing the date the OBO file was last updated. |
| Terms | Read-only column vector with handles to term objects of a geneont object. For properties of term objects, see Properties of Terms Objects. |
Properties of Terms Objects
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| id | Numeric value that corresponds to the GO ID of the GO term. |
| name | String representing the name of the GO term. |
| ontology | String limited to 'molecular function', 'biological process', or 'cellular component'. |
| definition | String that defines the GO term. |
| synonym | Numeric array containing GO IDs of GO terms that are synonyms of this GO term. |
| is_a | Numeric array containing GO IDs of GO terms that have an "is_a" relationship with this GO term. |
| part_of | Numeric array containing GO IDs that of GO terms that have a "part_of" relationship with this GO term. |
| obsolete | Boolean value that indicates if the GO term is obsolete (1) or not obsolete (0). |
